Ford Kuga (2020-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Enjoyable to drive	The cabin feels a bit low-rent in places
Roomy and practical interior	Some rivals have more luggage space
Plug-in hybrid will appeal to company car drivers	It's hard to apply the plug-in hybrid's brakes smoothly

Quick Summary

The Ford Kuga (2020-present) is a practical and engaging family SUV that combines genuine driving enjoyment with everyday usability. This generation finally gave Ford a competitive offering in the crowded SUV market, with the 2024 facelift strengthening its position further. It offers excellent space with boot capacity ranging from 412 to 553 litres, expandable to 1,534 litres with rear seats folded. The commanding driving position, well-tuned suspension, and direct steering make it a pleasure to drive, whilst maintaining a supple, comfortable ride suitable for long-distance cruising.

The Kuga's powertrain options have evolved, with the mid-life refresh removing diesel in favour of petrol, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid variants. The plug-in hybrid stands out, delivering 239bhp with an impressive 37.2-42.8 miles of electric-only range and claimed economy figures of 235-313mpg. The regular hybrid offers a sensible balance of performance and efficiency, whilst the turbocharged 1.5-litre petrol provides an affordable entry point. Running costs are competitive, particularly for the ST-Line trim, which sits beneath the £40,000 VED threshold. However, many features expected as standard—such as premium LED headlamps and head-up display—are optional extras, and the cabin materials feel somewhat basic for the price.

Best for: Families seeking a practical, engaging SUV with low running costs, company car drivers interested in the plug-in hybrid's tax benefits, and those wanting genuine driving enjoyment without premium pricing.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising a premium cabin feel, those needing maximum boot space compared to rivals, or drivers seeking the smoothest brake application in plug-in hybrid form.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Kuga if: You're seeking a practical, engaging family SUV with low running costs, interested in plug-in hybrid technology for company car benefits, or want genuine driving enjoyment without premium pricing.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise a premium cabin feel, require maximum boot space, or need the smoothest brake application in plug-in hybrid form.

Competitive Position: The Ford Kuga (2020-present) is a solid contender in the family SUV market, offering excellent driving dynamics, practicality, and competitive running costs. Whilst the Kia Sportage edges ahead with a five-star expert rating and the Hyundai Tucson impresses with user satisfaction, the Kuga holds its own with engaging handling and a compelling plug-in hybrid option. The Peugeot 3008 offers better value deals, but the Kuga's driving experience and affordability make it a highly sensible choice for families prioritising enjoyment alongside practicality. It remains an underdog in a crowded market, but one that rewards those who take the time to drive it.
